My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

    The joy on your face when the tiller started- GOLD!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
  • @user-kk3dq3xw9g
    That’s why I don’t lend my stuff out. I’ll give it away if I don’t want it anymore but I don’t lend out my equipment or tools because most don’t take care of them the way I do.

    The most genuine woman on YouTube. Same in person as on camera!!!!!
  • @workbenchz
    The MAD Laugh when the motor starter running, I have that same reaction when I get one fixed!
  • @chuckster6513
    I have long wanted a Mantis tiller. Last week I was given an old one that had set in a storage unit for years. This video happened at the right time for me. Thank you.
  • @fredflint1797
    The pleasure and satisfaction of a first start and run is on your face, and your eyes light up! You are a true MotorHead!
  • @kevincorbin6273
    Love how you explain everything completely and camera angles so we can actually see what you’re doing, Thanks for sharing your knowledge
  • @Barbarra63297
    I'm way older than you and I remember when you saw Mantis Tiller commercials on TV all the time. So fun to share your VICTORY. Love your channel and believe it or not, I'm learning!
  • @harrisji
    The pure joy on your face when it started was fun to see. Good job.
  • @PJ-uv9fr
    I could watch you work all day long! Bringing something back from the depths of hell is soooo satisfying. Good luck with the babies - they are adorable👍
  • @ronnieicard
    Here's a trick I use when replacing the primer bulb. Mash the bulb in and ease up. Most of the time this will get the gas to start flowing into the primer bulb. If you push down on the bulb too fast or you keep pumping it, all you're doing is pushing the gas back into the tank. Pushing down and then slowly raising the bulb while your thumb is still on it will allow the line to fill with gas.

    I love how excited you got once it took off. Obviously you love what you do. Great job on that tiller
  • A pretty gal that's handy with tools and repairs...what's not to love?❤❤❤❤❤
  • @rebeltaz123
    Your chicks are adorable! We finally got four girls after talking about it for years. Ours are a little over a year old and they look for us to come play with them every day. If you socialize with them, they will come running when they see you, especially if you bring them goodies everyday. Ours love Cheerios and crushed corn chips! You will love them! Not sure how you're going to keep them, but they do need a lot of room. Those coops they sell ain't gonna cut it. I hope you'll keep us posted on them.

    I rented a Mantis tiller a couple of years ago from home depot. LOVED IT !! I couldn't believe how big of a job such a little machine could do.
  • @mas8443
    You really take pride in your work. But when you do what you love you never have to work. Thanks for sharing
  • @MrTimEarl
    Good morning Bree and I really enjoyed the new video...... Have a GRRRRRRREAT week!!
  • @4Truth4All
    Congrats on being a new chicken Mom! Great episode on the Mantis tiller. Lots of good info.
  • @joemccall8991
    Thanks for reminding me to pull my Mantis out and see if it still fires. Been in my shed for.. five years? Got it for free ten years ago and then started doing no-till gardening so it's just been sitting. Did five-year ago me store it properly the way Bre shows? Probably not, five-year ago me was pretty stupid and wasn't watching this wonderful, informative channel.
